Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Hytera PD402i and the PD482i?
The primary difference is the physical interface. The PD402i is a screenless radio designed for simple, rugged, grab-and-go use. The PD482i features an OLED display and full keypad, allowing users to send text messages and manually dial specific radios on the network. Both radios share the same batteries, chargers, and audio accessories.
Will the Hytera PD402i work with my older analog radios?
Yes. The PD402i features dual-mode auto-detect operation, meaning it can seamlessly communicate with both legacy analog radios and modern digital (DMR) radios on the same channel.
Does the Hytera PD402i need to be programmed?
Yes. The PD402i must be programmed with your licensed frequencies before use. You’ll be asked at checkout whether you’d like programming, or you can add it in advance via our Atlantic Radio Programming Services page. To program it yourself, you’ll need the Hytera CPS software and the PC76 USB programming cable, both sold separately.
Is the Hytera PD402i waterproof?
The PD402i has an IP55 rating — it is highly protected against dust and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor use in rain or wet environments, but should not be fully submerged underwater.
Does the Hytera PD402i require an FCC license?
Yes. Because this is a high-powered professional two-way radio (4W UHF / 5W VHF), it requires an FCC business radio license to operate legally in the United States.
Warranty
3-year manufacturer’s warranty on the radio body. 1-year warranty on included accessories.
